Answer:

£480

Step-by-step explanation:

we can multiply both terms of ratio with same number without changing the ratio.

Example

a:b = ax: bx (here we have multiplied both terms with x)\

Given

Stevie and Michael share their profit in a ratio 3:5

Let the profit for Stevie and Michael be 3x and 5x

Given Stevie gets £120 more than Michael

Profit for Steve = 120 + profit for Michael

3x = 120 + 5x

3x-5x = 120

=> -2x = 120

=> x= -120/2 = -60

As we see profit is negative , hence it cannot be solution.

It can be solved if Stevie and Michael share their profit in a ratio 5:3

(note: in ratio , bigger number should have bigger term in ratio)

Let the profit for Stevie and Michael be 3x and 5x

Given Stevie gets £120 more than Michael

Profit for Steve = 120 + profit for Michael

5x = 120 + 3x

5x-xx = 120

=> 2x = 120

=> x= x120/2 = 60

Profit for stevei = 5x =5*60 = 300

Profit for Michael = 3x = 3*60 = 180

Total profit for them together = 300 + 180 = 480 Answer.

Answer:

51.9

8.9

78.5

8.8

Explanation:

You round up if the number to the right is 5 or greater.

So, apply this to the numbers and the 8 in A rounds up, going to a 51.9.

The 9 does not round up because of the one.

The 5 also does not round up because of the 2.

The 7 does round up because of the 6.

Solve x – 7 > –8.
IgorC [24]
Question 1.

x - 7 > - 8

Adding 7 to both sides, we get:

x - 7 + 7 > - 8 + 7

x > -1

Thus the answer to the inequality is option Fourth.

Question 2.

A number exceeds 66. Let that number be x. The number exceeds 66 means that the number is larger than 66. So in form of an expression we can write the inequality as:

x is greater than 66

x > 66

So, option 1st gives the correct answer.


Question 3.

The tiles are square shaped and area of a square can be calculated as the square of its Length.

Area of square = (Length)²

If we are given the Area, we can find the length as:

Length = \sqrt{Area}

For Tile A, the length will be:

Length= \sqrt{9}=3  
So length is a Rational number

For Tile B, the length will be:

Length= \sqrt{25}=5  
So length is a Rational number

For Tile C, the length will be:

Length= \sqrt{34}  
So, Length is not Rational.

For Tile D, the length will be:

Length= \sqrt{76}  
Length is not Rational

Thus, the lengths of Tile A and Tile B are rational only.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1st option

What’s the answer?and how do you get it
Kay [80]

the solid is made up of 2 regular octagons, 8 sides, joined up by 8 rectangles, one on each side towards the other octagonal face.

from the figure, we can see that the apothem is 5 for the octagons, and since each side is 3 cm long, the perimeter of one octagon is 3*8 = 24.

the standing up sides are simply rectangles of 8x3.

if we can just get the area of all those ten figures, and sum them up, that'd be the area of the solid.

\bf \textit{area of a regular polygon}\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{2}ap~~ \begin{cases} a=apothem\\ p=perimeter\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ a=5\\ p=24 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{1}{2}(5)(24)\implies \stackrel{\textit{just for one octagon}}{A=60} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{two octagon's area}}{2(60)}~~+~~\stackrel{\textit{eight rectangle's area}}{8(3\cdot 8)}\implies 120+192\implies 312
